September 8th, 2025 — The Sicily of wine takes flight to New York with Firriato, ambassador of a production model that unites sustainability, research, and territorial identity. The historic Sicilian winery will be among the main protagonists of Sip of Italy 2025, the international event organized by Wine Enthusiast and scheduled for September 11 at City Winery. This year’s edition will bring together more than 90 Italian wineries, offering over 300 labels for tasting.
A strategic milestone in the company’s ongoing path of internationalization and brand consolidation in foreign markets — particularly in North America — with the goal of strengthening its commercial network overseas and contributing to the global narrative of Sicilian wine culture.
Under the lights of the Big Apple, Firriato will present a curated selection of wines that embody the multifaceted soul of Sicily through its most representative terroirs. From the mountain bubbles of Etna — Gaudensius Blanc de Noir Etna Doc and Gaudensius Pas Dosè, elegant expressions of an extreme, mineral-driven viticulture — to the Etna Doc contrada wines Contrada Zottorinotto – Balza delle Poiane 2023 and Cavanera Contrada Zucconerò Sciara del Tiglio 2021, symbols of the deep dialogue between volcanic soils and indigenous varieties. Completing the journey are the reds Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Rosso 2020 and Ribeca 2019, Sicilia Doc emblematic of the generosity of the Trapani countryside, where vineyards take root in an ancient balance of light, wind, and sea — transforming every sip into a story of identity and harmony.
Sip of Italy will therefore serve as an exceptional showcase to reaffirm Sicily’s central role within the international wine landscape, through a direct dialogue with the press, buyers, and the American public.
